The reason is simple: the Land of Fire is currently in a better and better situation.

Perhaps the war will end completely soon.

All of this is thanks to Kirigakure and Iwagakure...

Looking at the intelligence report in front of him, Tobirama Senju's lips curled up slightly as he murmured softly.

"The situation in Konoha isn't as bad as we thought..."

Suddenly, he sensed three familiar chakras and looked up at the doorway.

After an unknown amount of time, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

They never knock before entering the Hokage's office; you can tell who it is without even thinking.

"Uncle, why did you ask us to come back?"

Lian Ye swaggered into the office and pulled up a chair to sit down.

Shimura Danzo and Utatane Koharu's eyelids twitched wildly; Renya was getting bolder and bolder.

They dared not be so rude and respectfully addressed him as "teacher."

Tobirama Senju didn't seem to mind Renya's rudeness and said softly, "Danzo and Koharu, please have a seat too."

Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane pulled up chairs and sat down.

"Uncle, why did you call us back?" Lianye asked again.

That old bastard Tobirama Senju won't let them leave the battlefield for no reason.

It's obvious without even guessing that there are other tasks assigned to them.

They'll probably be sent to other battlefields...

Instead of explaining, Tobirama Senju handed the information in his hand to Renya.

"Just take a look."

Lian Ye frowned, wondering what the old man was up to, and took the intelligence report to read it.

Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane quickly came over to watch.

When the three of them saw the contents, their pupils contracted sharply, and they showed expressions of shock.

The intelligence report read: "The First Mizukage abdicated, and Gengetsu succeeded him. After becoming Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki ceased his attacks on the Land of Fire and redirected his troops to attack the Land of Earth."

Meanwhile, the First Tsuchikage passed the position to Mu, who immediately ordered the army on the front lines of the Land of Fire to halt its attack on Konoha and instead begin attacking Kirigakure.

After reading the intelligence, Lianye didn't know what to say.

Iwagakure and Kirigakure were attacking Konoha together, so how did they suddenly start fighting each other?

The two countries are thousands of miles apart, one in the upper left corner of the map and the other in the lower right corner.

He simply couldn't understand the reason for the two countries to go to war...

Could it be that Hozuki Gengetsu felt too much pressure fighting the Land of Fire against four opponents, so he stopped his attack and turned to attack the Land of Earth to relieve their pressure?

So, this guy is actually a good person!

Of course, this was just Lianye's conjecture; he himself didn't believe it.

As for why Kirigakure and Iwagakure would fight, that remains a mystery.

But the truth doesn't matter...

This is a huge boon for Konoha; they only need to face Kumogakure and Sunagakure.

Meanwhile, Sunagakure was under pressure on the southwestern battlefield.

Therefore, Konoha's only remaining enemy is Kumogakure.

Once the Hidden Cloud Village is defeated, the war will be over!

……

Seeing the shocked expressions on the three people's faces, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but smile.

He had the same expression when he first saw the intelligence.

Regardless of the reason why Iwagakure and Kirigakure are fighting, it's a good thing for Konoha.

With both countries ceasing their attacks on Konoha, forces from the southeast and northwest battlefields can be deployed to the southwest and northeast battlefields.

In particular, Konoha gained an advantage in the southwestern battlefield, so it did not need much troop support and the remaining troops could all be sent to the northeastern battlefield.

I believe that the war will be completely ended soon!

Tobirama Senju had thought the war would last for many years, but to his surprise, Konoha saw the dawn of victory after only three months.

Thanks to Iwagakure and Kirigakure...

If they hadn't suddenly started fighting, Konoha would still be surrounded by enemies on all sides.

……

"As you have seen, Kirigakure and Iwagakure have gone to war and have stopped their attacks on the Land of Fire."

Tobirama Senju said to the three, "We only need to defeat Sunagakure and Kumogakure to end the war!"

Danzo Shimura and Koharu Utatane looked excited and said in unison:

"The teacher is right!"

They seemed to have already envisioned Konoha's victory.

Seeing their reactions, Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction.

He then turned to look at Lian Ye, seemingly wanting to see her excited.

Renya met Tobirama Senju's gaze calmly and nodded slightly.

"Yes, Uncle is right."

Thousand Hands Tobirama: "..."

Why is this kid reacting like this?

Shouldn't they be incredibly excited to hear the news?!

Chapter 134 Lianye's Troubles

"Uncle, when are we heading to the battlefield?" Lian Ye suddenly asked.

Since this old guy told them about this, it's obvious that he's planning to send them to the Cloud Hidden Battlefield.

"No rush, you can rest for a couple of days first," Tobirama Senju said gently. "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Now that the village's pressure has eased, it's only natural that the three of them, as disciples of the Hokage, should receive some preferential treatment.

We can't just rush back to the battlefield as soon as we get back to the village, can we?

Even oxen and horses shouldn't be treated like this...

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo and Utatane Koharu showed joy on their faces.

Finally, I can get a good two days of rest!

"In that case, let's head back first." Lian Ye stood up and prepared to leave.

They've been on the battlefield for three months; they really deserve a good rest.

When Shimura Danzo and Utatane Koharu saw Renya get up, they quickly stood up as well.

"Wait..." Tobirama Senju suddenly called out to the three people who were about to leave, or rather, Renya.

"Kid, don't forget the important business."

All that could be seen was Lian Ye's reflection in his red eyes, and he uttered a sentence without any context.

Renya didn't react for a moment and looked at Tobirama Senju with a blank expression.

I wondered to myself, what is this old bastard really talking about?!

But soon, he suddenly thought of something, and his lips twitched.

"Understood, Uncle."

With that, he turned and left the Hokage's office.

Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction. "That kid is smart."

With just a slight hint, I understood the meaning behind the words.

With two disciples standing nearby, there were things I couldn't say too clearly.

This damages his teacher's image...

……

"Renya-kun, what did the teacher mean by what he just said?" Koharu Utatane couldn't help but ask as they left the Hokage Building.

Danzo Shimura instinctively looked at Renya, wanting to hear an explanation.

What exactly did the teacher mean by what he said to Renye before leaving?

What exactly is this so-called "serious business"?

Why can't he understand?

"It's nothing, just a small matter." Lian Ye had no intention of explaining.

They couldn't very well tell the two of them that Tobirama Senju's so-called important business was to have them deliver dinner to him, could they?

To think that a dignified Jonin like him not only had to cook, but also had to run errands to deliver meals.

If the two of them found out, wouldn't he lose face?

No one should ever find out about this!

Seeing that Lianye was unwilling to talk about it, the two did not ask any further questions.

Danzo looked at Renya with a complicated expression, clenching his fists in resentment.

The teacher even gave Lianye a special assignment...

This news is not good for him.

This shows that the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and the teacher is trusting Lianye more and more.

Does this mean that the teacher is more inclined to pass the Hokage position to Renya?

Otherwise, their conversation just now simply wouldn't make sense...

However, when Danzo thought of Renya's performance on the battlefield, the sense of crisis that had risen in his heart quickly disappeared.

He almost forgot about his meritorious service.

The teacher's attention, coupled with the military achievements gained.

It's a foregone conclusion that Lian Ye will become Hokage, so there's no need for him to be jealous of her becoming Hokage.

The most urgent task is to prepare for becoming the fourth generation!

It wouldn't be bad for him to become the fourth generation leader after Renye steps down.

And so, Danzo managed to appease himself once again.

Turning around to look at the Hokage Rock behind the Hokage Building, I felt that the future was bright.

One day, his face will appear on it too!

It's just a matter of time.

……

The Tobirama Senju residence.

Lianye returned to her room, took a nice, relaxing shower, and then lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.

The prolonged period of high alert left him physically and mentally exhausted, and he only found relief when he returned home.

I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed.

Young people sleep so well, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
